[0023] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In the NR standard version 16 (Release-16, R-16), SRS is given a new positioning function. To improve the process of using semi-periodic / aperiodic SRS for positioning, the semi-periodic / aperiodic SRS used for positioning is different from the SRS for other purposes, and multiple TRPs are required to measure the SRS signal of the terminal device together. If the serving cell of the terminal device activates the semi-periodic / aperiodic SRS of the terminal device without notifying the TRPs that need to measure the SRS signal of the terminal device in the same positioning process, it may cause adjacent TRPs to be unable to measure the SRS signal in a timely manner. However, there is currently no cooperative working mechanism between the serving cell of the terminal device and the TRP.

[0025] Embodiments of the present application provide a mobile communication network (including but not limited to the fifth-generation mobile communication network (5th-Generation, 5G)), and the network architecture of this network may include network-side devices (such as one or more types of base stations, transmission nodes, access points (AP, Access Point), relays, Node B (Node B, NB), Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA), Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (EUTRA), etc.) and terminal devices (User Equipment (UE), user equipment data cards, relay (relay) mobile devices, etc.). In the embodiments of the present application, a method, device, and storage medium for processing positioning information that can run on the above network architecture are provided, which can achieve the coordination of the SRS configuration and activation between the serving cell of the terminal device and the TRP.

[0026] Next, the method, device, and technical effects of processing positioning information will be described. In one embodiment, the serving cell of the terminal device mentioned in the following embodiments may also be referred to as the serving base station of the terminal device or the serving node of the terminal device.

[0027] Figure 1 The flowchart of a method for processing positioning information provided by an embodiment is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the method provided in this embodiment is applicable to a Location Management Function (LMF), and this method includes the following steps.

[0028] S110. The LMF sends positioning request information to the serving cell of the terminal device, and the positioning request information at least includes sounding reference signal SRS configuration recommendation information.

[0029] In one embodiment, the positioning request is initiated by a terminal device, and the serving cell from which the LMF sends the positioning request information is also the serving cell of the terminal device (which can also be referred to as the target terminal device) that initiates the positioning request.

[0030] In one embodiment, the SRS configuration recommendation information includes at least one of the following information: the configuration type of the recommended SRS, the time domain type of the recommended SRS, the minimum bandwidth of the recommended SRS, the frequency domain position of the recommended SRS, the period of the recommended SRS, the scrambling identification ID of the recommended SRS, the transmission comb size comb size of the recommended SRS, the cyclic shift of the recommended SRS, and the number of transmission ports of the recommended SRS.

[0031] In one embodiment, the time domain type of the recommended SRS can be divided into periodically transmitted, aperiodically transmitted, and semi-periodically transmitted.

[0032] S120. The LMF receives the positioning response information sent by the serving cell, and the positioning response information at least includes SRS configuration determination information.

[0034] In one embodiment, the time domain type of the actually configured SRS can be divided into periodically transmitted, aperiodically transmitted, and semi-periodically transmitted.

[0035] In one embodiment, the SRS configuration determination information is the same as the SRS configuration recommendation information; or, the SRS configuration determination information is different from the SRS configuration recommendation information. For example, the time domain type of the recommended SRS is aperiodically transmitted, while the time domain type of the actually configured SRS is periodically transmitted, that is, the SRS configuration determination information is different from the SRS configuration recommendation information.

[0036] S130. The LMF sends measurement request information to the TRP, and the measurement request information includes SRS configuration determination information.

[0037] In one embodiment, when the time domain type of the actually configured SRS is periodically transmitted, in step S130, the LMF sends measurement request information to the TRP so that the TRP performs SRS detection at a fixed position.

[0038] In one embodiment, when the time domain type of the actually configured SRS is non-periodic transmission, in step S130, the LMF sends a measurement request message to the TRP, so that the TRP performs SRS detection at the time domain position of the non-periodically transmitted SRS.

[0039] In one embodiment, when the time domain type of the actually configured SRS is semi-periodic transmission, step S130 specifically includes: the LMF sends a measurement request message to the TRP; the LMF receives the semi-period SRS activation information sent by the serving cell; the LMF sends the semi-period SRS activation information to the TRP, so that the TRP performs SRS detection at the time domain position of the semi-periodically transmitted SRS.

[0040] Further, the LMF may also receive the semi-period SRS deactivation information sent by the serving cell; and send the semi-period SRS deactivation information to the TRP.

[0041] Figure 2 The flowchart shows another method for processing positioning information provided by an embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, the method provided by this embodiment is applicable to the serving cell of the terminal device, and the method includes the following steps.

[0044] In one embodiment, the time domain type of the recommended SRS can be divided into periodic transmission, non-periodic transmission, and semi-periodic transmission.

[0045] In one embodiment, after step S210 is executed, it further includes:

[0046] The serving cell determines the SRS configuration determination information according to its own configurable resource status and the SRS configuration recommendation information.

[0048] In one embodiment, the time domain types of the actually configured SRS may be divided into periodic transmission, aperiodic transmission, and semi-periodic transmission.

[0049] In one embodiment, the SRS configuration determination information is the same as the SRS configuration recommendation information; or the SRS configuration determination information is different from the SRS configuration recommendation information. For example, the recommended SRS time domain type is periodic transmission, and the actually configured SRS time domain type is also periodic transmission, that is, the SRS configuration determination information is the same as the SRS configuration recommendation information.

[0050] S220. The serving cell sends positioning response information to the LMF. The positioning response information includes at least SRS configuration confirmation information.

[0051] In one embodiment, when the time domain type of the actually configured SRS is aperiodic transmission, the serving cell may further activate the aperiodic transmission of the SRS.

[0052] In one embodiment, when the time domain type of the actually configured SRS is semi-periodic transmission, the serving cell may further activate the semi-periodic transmission of the SRS and send semi-periodic SRS activation information to the LMF.
